@randahl This is bullshit intrusive, but am I surprised? Hardly… 🤔
This thread is worth reading if you are a Google docs user.
Short version: When you export a document from Google Docs, Google replaces all your hyperlinks with links that allows Google to monitor the interactions of everyone you share your document with.
This hidden link replacement can potentially be used to build a model of your professional relations, where people who interact more with your content are considered a stronger relation.
Think about the implications.

'For the first time in the program’s 60-year history. '
That sentence is a good summary of how disastrous the government of Trump is.
Imagine a program (SNAP) that has already been providing food for the poor for 60(!) years and that has NEVER missed a payment.
Now, under Trump, the poor will go hungry more than before. And realize that among the recipients 70% have a job,
What could go wrong?
But I must admit, it was the greatest Con in the history of humanity. And he can't even brag about pulling off such an exceptional con, because that would be a confession. But he's secretly laughing at the gullible maga masses who, by the millions, made it all possible.
As to what could go wrong, the mob boss in chief is drunk with power, relishing in all the pain that he's dishing out. Enjoy!
“More and more cabinet members who are directing the anti-immigration policies — Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem — live on military bases now, not in American civilian society, and it feels like another historical parallel to Iraq, where the American administration was living behind gated walls protected by the military in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where political leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

On today's front page: Trump is simultaneously
—fighting relentlessly to avoid paying $5 billion already appropriated by Congress to feed the nation's poor and hungry.
—quietly diverting *hundreds* of billions in the form of “unlegislated tax cuts" to the nation's superrich elite, private equity, and billionaire investors.
@realTuckFrumper @JonChevreau Now there's an #Understatement if ever there was one.
Trump is fighting tooth and nail to ensure that Americans go hungry.
Yet he has Ghislaine Maxwell set up with her own prison chef and meals delivered to her personally.
Why aren't the Dems pounding hard about this when they have the letters proving it?

Q: You’ve gone from a maximum-security prison to becoming a tenured professor at Howard University. What does that milestone represent to you personally?
A: My story represents both possibility and responsibility, and it’s the culmination of years of faith, mentorship, and resilience. But it’s bigger than me. It’s proof that redemption is real — that someone who was once written off as a “career criminal” can stand in front of classrooms, lead research...

"People need to have more babies!!!" - Republicans
Have you considered making parenting more feasible by making housing, heath care, education, and child care more affordable? It might mean a lower tax cut for the superwealthy.
"That's socialism! We're going to use the power of government to force women to give birth instead!" - Republicans
